When customers pay for goods or services, their journey through the payment process can make or break a sale. The psychology behind payments reveals a simple truth: the more friction in checkout, the more likely shoppers are to abandon their cart. At Lytz, our mission is to create seamless payment experiences that address buyer concerns and drive higher conversion rates for businesses.

Understanding Payment Friction

Payment friction refers to any obstacle, confusion, or delay that slows down the payment process. Common sources include lengthy forms, unclear instructions, multiple redirects, requests for excessive information, or complicated verification steps. Every additional hurdle increases cognitive load and triggers decision fatigue, causing customers to second-guess their purchase or walk away altogether.

Psychological Barriers and Trust

People want instant gratification. Complex payment flows disrupt that desire, raising fear of errors or fraud, and eroding trust. Too many steps or vague directions signal risk, making customers anxious about entering sensitive financial information. Lytz combats this by providing clear, simple payment screens with bank-grade security that reinforces customer confidence.

Why Simplicity Drives Sales

Research shows that up to 70% of carts are abandoned before payment, with friction being a top cause. The clearest path from selection to payment wins more sales. Lytz enables instant settlement via payment links, QR codes, and mobile wallets, reducing friction and making the process intuitive and quick.
